The Ability to Transform Avatars

The Ability to Transform Avatars

This was Nous?

Looking at the enormous mechanical head before him, Mu Chen found it hard to believe. On the surface, this martial soul seemed like nothing much—more like a discarded machine.

Yet this martial soul possessed innate twentieth-rank Soul Power. In the end, Mu Chen could only attribute it to a mutated martial soul. Only a mutated martial soul could explain such a situation.

"Herta, you must remember this!"

"You absolutely must not mention your innate twentieth-rank Soul Power to anyone. If someone asks, say that you ate some heavenly treasures when you were young, causing a beneficial mutation in your martial soul. Otherwise, you may attract people with ill intentions."

Mu Chen's expression was extremely grave. Due to his lofty position, he had witnessed plenty of open and covert struggles over the years, and had even taken part in some of them.

He therefore understood perfectly just how great some people's jealousy toward geniuses could be. They might even do something extreme.

Moreover, if those major factions learned of Herta's circumstances, matters would become even more troublesome. Although he, Mu Chen, was a Saint Craftsman, there was still a considerable gap between him and those half-god-level powerhouses.

"I understand." Herta now understood as well. If she did not want to become involved in those struggles, she had to hide herself appropriately.

Then, once the time was right, she could astonish everyone in one stroke!

Mu Chen nodded as well. However, when his gaze shifted to Nous once more, he immediately noticed that it had no soul rings.

"We happen to have time in a couple of days. I'll take you to the Spirit Pagoda to buy two Soul Spirits! You're Mu Chen's daughter, after all. We can't buy you any cheap goods!"

"Then... thank you, Uncle?"

"If you called me Dad like Xiao Xi does, I'd be very happy."

"Aren't you pushing your luck, Uncle?"

Seeing Herta like this, Mu Chen knew that his wife's method was still the best. She had settled this little girl in just a few moves!

Seeing Mu Chen's expression, Herta simply gave a disdainful snort.

Although her attitude was still not very good, at least their relationship had improved. That counted as a gain.

But this alone was not enough!

"System, how can I increase the number of my avatars and enhance the power they can use?"

Within Herta's body, Yao Lan was communicating with his system. His grasp of his abilities was still at a rudimentary stage. If he wanted to increase his strength, he had to obtain more power.

"Host, the system is currently adjusting the distribution of corresponding powers according to the world's strength. The number of avatars cannot be increased for the time being, but the host can turn others into avatars by injecting them with the power of an Aeon."

"Turn other people into avatars? That's possible too?"

"It is possible, but the host must note that not everyone can serve as an avatar. To turn someone into an avatar, the power of an Aeon must be used, but such power is far too strong for the people of this world."

"In other words, only beings who have touched the godly level in this world can barely withstand the power of an Aeon and become the host's avatars. Furthermore, they cannot resist during the process of becoming an avatar."

"Then is this ability even useful?"

Yao Lan could not help feeling speechless. What the system had said was no different from saying nothing!

Only those who had touched the godly level could become avatars, and they could not resist. In other words, they had to do so willingly? How was that possible!

Most people who had reached the godly threshold were ninety-ninth-rank Ultimate Douluo, perhaps with Battle Armor Master cultivation as well. Turning them into avatars without their resistance was infinitely close to impossible.

"My power is incomplete right now. Although I accepted the power of an Aeon, my rank is only twenty-five, the same as Herta's. How could I possibly defeat a Titled Douluo? One connected to the godly level at that? This is simply..."

"Wait!"

His irritated tone abruptly stopped. Yao Lan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "System, let me ask you something. What if someone was once at the godly level, but their strength later declined for some reason, and they were even injured, leaving their power incomplete?"

"Can such an existence become my avatar?"

A silver-white figure surfaced in Yao Lan's mind. Among the conditions the system had just mentioned, she was the only one who met them in the early stages of The Legend of the Dragon King. If this condition could be fulfilled, Yao Lan would gain an incomparable trump card.

"Of course."

The system's voice remained as emotionless as ever, but Yao Lan was overjoyed upon hearing it. In that case, the target had been decided!

"What about the power of the Aeons?"

Although the avatar ability was interesting, the power of the Aeons was its foundation. Yao Lan had to obtain more of it.

"Host, there are currently three powers available for use: The Hunt and Abundance on the host's main body, as well as the Aeon of The Wisdom, Nous, on the avatar Herta."

"Nous has already formed the martial soul of the avatar Herta and cannot be adjusted. However, The Hunt and Abundance on the host can be adjusted. After all, the host can use the power of three Aeons; it was never specified which three."

"As long as it has not formed an avatar, the host's main body can switch the power of its Aeons."

"Hiss—! Why didn't you tell me something so important earlier?"

Since the power of the Aeons could be adjusted, Yao Lan's options immediately became much broader.

Because of Abundance's characteristics, Yao Lan would basically never replace it. The reason was simple: it could save his life. As for The Hunt, Yao Lan had initially only thought it was powerful and could let him counterattack when fighting for his life.

But several days had already passed, and Yao Lan had not encountered a single battle. After all, Soul Beasts were already exceedingly rare in this era, and she had become the daughter of Saint Craftsman Mu Chen. Life-or-death battles would probably become even rarer.

"So, when the time comes, I'll replace The Hunt with Permanence and turn it into an avatar!"

Long, the Permanence.

One of the oldest Aeons, and the ancestor of all dragonkin!

In any world, dragons were extraordinarily powerful creatures, and the Douluo world was no exception. The current era was even called The Legend of the Dragon King, which showed just how special dragons were.

And Long, the Permanence, was clearly an existence of a higher order than this world—a dragon race at the conceptual level. If this being's power were injected into a dragonkin, it would surely create an incomparably powerful avatar!

"Hehe... hahahaha!"

At that thought, Yao Lan could not hold himself back. Even Herta's avatar outside began laughing, though the laughter stopped before long.

"System, I just accidentally switched to the power of The Elation, right?"

"Host, you did not. You simply went crazy for a moment."

"Why don't you understand how to interact with people, System?"

"First, the system is not human and does not need to learn how to interact with people. Second, the system does not lie. You simply went crazy for a moment."

"You really are honest..."

High emotional intelligence: You really are honest.

Low emotional intelligence: Your intelligence is low.
